JACKSON, Miss. — Five hours of color footage of writer Eudora Welty has been found in the National Endowment for the Arts media archives, and returned to Mississippi.
The footage was shot in 1975 as part of an NEA-funded project. The organization decided the film would best be displayed at the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer’s home in Jackson’s historic Belhaven district, where Welty lived most of her life and wrote almost all of her fiction and essays. Welty died in 2001 at the age of 92.
